"Master Huiyun's Buddhist beads start at 1,000 guan, and each increase must not be less than 100 guan. Now..."

Zheng Zhen, who was already very skilled in the auction, handed the Buddhist beads to the etiquette lady next to him and picked up the wooden hammer.

"One thousand five hundred stale!"

"One thousand eight hundred stale!"

"Two thousand stakes!"

"Two thousand three white pens!"

"Two,800 stale!"

...

As soon as Zheng Zhen finished speaking, dozens of people immediately stood up and quoted, and the price instantly exceeded 3,000 guan, and it continued to rise. Three minutes later, the price exceeded 4,000 guan. After 4,000 guan, only five people participated in the auction, and only two people were left after more than 4,500 guan.

Five minutes later, Zheng Zhen knocked off the wooden hammer, and the string of Buddhist beads was sold for 5,000 silos, and was obtained by a middle-aged man in a gorgeous outfit.

"Yinyue Tower is indeed rich and powerful!"

Looking at the man who went to pay the money, the whole Baihua Building was extremely noisy. Some people were amazed and lamented, some people looked silent, and of course some people were happy to celebrate.

"It's so rich. It's really unimaginable to buy a string of Buddhist beads for 5,000 taels of silver!" Chen Ji and Yao Ran were amazed and felt incredible.

At this time, the news that the string of Buddhist beads was sold for 5,000 guan was almost written on the blackboard outside at the same time. At the same time, there were people holding loud speakers and loudly informing the people who were watching the fun, which immediately caused amazement and cheers from the entire street.

The 5,000 guan of Yinyue Tower also became the largest donation after Xiaolongwan Harbor spread rapidly.

Take an hour off at noon.

The guests who came to participate in the auction went home for dinner near the restaurant, and the guests called their friends to drink from nearby restaurants, which also made the restaurant business that was light at noon on weekdays so that almost every family was full of guests.

This is a rare opportunity to have a dinner together. You should know that these big businessmen and famous scholars are not so easy to get together on weekdays.

When eating and drinking, the most talked about is the various items and prices at the charity sale today, and the prices of some favorite items that were sold in the afternoon.

While the lunch break was taking advantage of the lunch break, the preparatory committee also wrote all the gifts and donor names that were successfully bidding in the morning, the names and transaction prices of the bidders and the transaction prices on a large white cloth, and arranged for people to hang them on the open space at the Lingqiao Wharf of Sanjiangkou to publicly announce them.

At the end of noon, guests who had enough food and drink returned to Baihua Building one after another.

The auction continued, and the afternoon gifts were mostly calligraphy and painting, which was also a major feature of the Song Dynasty. Most of the donors were donated by famous scholars who loved poetry, calligraphy and painting. Many of them were Shilin friends contacted by Wu Wenying. These calligraphy and painting works were also the most passionate items for all businessmen who only had money in their families, because hanging them at home not only supports the storefront, but also gives them a face. If any company does not hang a few poetry calligraphy and painting works, they belong to the ranks of local wealth and wealth and will be looked down upon by their peers. If someone hangs a work by Su Huang Mi Cai at home, their style will be much higher in an instant, and they will be praised by others.

Of course, the quality of calligraphy and painting works is high and low, and the reputation of the authors is large and small. The prices of contemporary works are generally not too high, and the collection value is not high. For example, Li Song's works are sold for hundreds of millions of yuan a few hundred years, but in front of them, they can only sell for three or five hundred yuan. However, if they were calligraphy and painting works in the Northern Song Dynasty, the price would be much higher, and generally the famous ones would cost thousands of yuan. If it was more expensive before the Tang Dynasty, if anyone could get a copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy works, they would probably not be able to bear it even if they were tens of thousands of yuan. These are what Zhao Qi knew recently.

However, it is impossible for Su Huang, Mi Cai to appear in this charity sale, and it is even more impossible for Liu Gongquan, Ouyang Xun, to appear in works by famous masters of previous dynasties, at most, the works of some less well-known calligraphers and painters in the Southern and Northern Song dynasties.

Chen Ji and Yao Ran have been drooling in the past two days and have carefully read these gifts one by one. The best painting is a picture of Su Hanchen's ladies, but due to poor storage, it has been a bit worm-eaten and damaged.

If it is placed before time travel, any of these nearly 100 calligraphy and painting works will be sold at least tens of millions or hundreds of millions at the auction. But now, they are piled up in baskets like ordinary calligraphy and paintings, and each work is just labeled as an author and donor.

Because calligraphy and painting are relatively more keen than other collectors, the auction in the afternoon is much more lively than in the morning, and almost all those who stay are coming for these calligraphy and painting works.

The afternoon auction was mainly hosted by Chen Ji and Yao Ran, two big-time students who were well-read. Although they talked a lot, the auction went very smoothly. After nearly two hours, the last calligraphy and painting were sold around the hour of You. All the items donated by this charity sale were sold, and no first-rate auctions were sold. At the same time, all the charity sale in the morning and afternoon have also been counted, with a total of 317 charity sale items, and a total of more than 230,000 yuan of donations were raised.

When this statistics were read out by Zhao Qi, not only were there cheers at the charity sale, but the news reached the door, but the people who had been waiting on the whole street for a whole day also became happy.

"Everyone, today's charity sale has the last final donation, and the donor is a mysterious guest. At the end of this charity sale, we invited this mysterious guest and the items she donated to the stage..."

Just when everyone thought the charity sale was over and they stood up to congratulate and prepared to leave, Zhao Qi raised his horn and announced a piece of news that no one knew.

"Brother Zhao, there are also mysterious guests and mysterious donations, why don't we know?"

As the home court of the charity sale, Han Lei, the shopkeeper of Baihualou, and several vice presidents, including Su Houyou and Zheng Zhen, all looked at Zhao Qi with confusion.

"Don't worry, the guests will come out soon!" Zhao Qi did not explain, but waited for a quiet and elegant girl dressed in long dress to slowly come out from the backstage with three little maids, holding a guqin. Everyone at the scene couldn't help but feel a commotion and noise.

"Old Wu, this... isn't this the granddaughter of Duke Chong?" Sitting in the second floor, Hu Yong, the county magistrate who continued to witness the charity sale on behalf of the county and government offices, couldn't help but stand up in surprise.

"Yes, Qing'er also wants to do her best to raise funds, so she took out this valley inscription book given by Ye Xijian, hoping to raise more military pay for Duke Chongguo!" Wu Wenyou nodded with a little sadness.

"This... isn't this the third lady in the palm of the Chongguo Duke?" Naturally, some of the guests who came to participate in the charity sale also recognized Wu Yuechan's identity.

"It's true!"

"Brother Zhao, didn't the third lady follow Duke Chongguo to leave Yin County?" Han Lei naturally recognized the famous girl who was once the number one in Qingyuan Prefecture, and couldn't help but pull Zhao Qi's arm and ask in a low voice.

"Miss Yuechan has never left Yin County, but she lives with Mr. Wu, so Manager Han doesn't know!"

"Brother Zhao, I wonder what Miss Yuechan is going to donate to the charity sale?" Chen Ji had seen Wu Yuechan, and was surprised and curious.

"Don't worry, sit down first!" Zhao Qi waved his hand, and Han Lei and other groups of people from the preparatory meeting also sat down on the rostrum. Under their leadership, all the guests at the venue whispered to each other.

Zhao Qi walked to the center of the auction table and stood around, bowed and said, "Everyone, the one in front of me is Wu Yuechan, the third granddaughter of Duke Chongguo. Miss Yuechan has been enthusiastic about helping us after learning about our charity sale. For example, the display cloth on our auction table in front of me was sewn out by Miss Yuechan for half a month..."

"I see!"

"Why do I say that this piece of cloth always feels different? It is different from the promotional banners of painted ink paintings outside. It is much more delicate and delicate. It turns out that the third lady sewed it with needlework..."

"I heard that the third lady is smart and beautiful, and she is indeed well-known when she sees it today!"

"The third lady is beautiful, but I heard that she is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know who is lucky enough to marry her home!"

"Marry, I'm afraid I need the No. 1 pick and Tanhua in the top three rankings to have a chance!"

"That's right, I don't look at the identity of Duke Chong. If I don't make it to the top of the third list, who dares to come to ask for marriage..."

A beautiful girl suddenly appeared, and the guests on the scene quickly became crooked during discussion.
